1940 GMT (3:40 p.m. EDT)
SpaceX has released a statement on today’s postponement:

“Today’s Orbcomm launch attempt has been scrubbed to address a potential concern identified during pre-flight checks. The vehicle and payload are in good condition, and engineering teams will take the extra time to ensure the highest possible level of mission assurance prior to flight. The rocket will remain vertical on the launch pad with the next available launch opportunity targeting Tuesday, June 24th.”


Try again Tuesday!
